Alternate Action Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't like it
No one will like it
Everything is lost
Justice isn't won

Never again
Never again
Never again

Never again

You aren't the one
You can't get out
Innocence is taken
It's over now

Never again
Never again
Never again

Never again
Never again

The lyrics to Alternate Action's song "Never Again" describes the loss of justice and innocence. The first two lines, "You won't like it, no one will like it" indicate that whatever has happened is disliked and possibly tragic. The following lines of "Everything is lost, Justice isn't won" confirms that the situation is dire as everything has been lost and justice has not been served. This gives the impression that the song is about a situation where justice has failed, and possibly the singer is a victim of the failure.

The repetition of "Never Again" in the chorus reinforces the idea that whatever has happened should never happen again. The repeated use of this phrase could be an indication of a traumatizing event, and the singer is expressing their hope that they never have to go through it again. In the second verse, "You aren't the one, You can't get out, Innocence is taken, It's over now," continues the theme of hopelessness and devastation. The singer is unable to escape the situation, and their innocence has been taken away. The final line "It's over now" suggests that regardless of how dire the situation was, it has come to an end.
